StreetSounds™ is a revolutionary new streaming wireless audio sys-tem designed to provide professional quality audio for "Music on Main Street". StreetSounds™ allows municipal governments, down-town revitalization initiatives, or real estate developers to provide real-time audio for seasonal music, festivals, parades, road races, ambient background music in shopping areas, as well as Emergency Communications and Mass Notification, all without having to dig up streets and sidewalks, or disturb historic areas to run wires. The wire-less system is easily mounted on existing street-light poles so that it can tap into an existing AC power source. StreetSounds™ is housed in a rugged aluminum enclosure built to withstand harsh, out-door environmental conditions in permanent installations. StreetSounds™ allows you to stream your favorite audio source, such as Pandora, Sirius, or Spotify throughout your shopping district, park, sports complex or outdoor entertainment area. You can also add a microphone for live announcements for parades or festivals.
The entire system can be remotely controlled and monitored from a central PC running a powerful Network Management System (NMS). The NMS gives the operator control over each wireless unit so that either individual units, or groups of units ("zones"), can be turned on or off and volume increased or decreased from the central management location. StreetSounds™ is also available in a portable version to use for "fill-in" or temporary locations during special events. StreetSounds™ internal audio amplifier provides enough power for applications ranging from quiet background music to loud concerts for hundreds of people. The StreetSounds™ Network Management System (NMS) is a PC-based application that gives the user a broad array of tools for configuring, operating, and diagnosing the StreetSounds network. The NMS connects via USB to the Master unit and communicates over the air with all remote units in the network. The communications with the remote units is bi-directional so that the NMS is able to monitor AND control each unit from a central location. The pole mount is made of sturdy stainless steel and can accommodate poles from 4" to 6" in diameter. The mount is secured to the pole with stainless steel bands and tamper-proof stainless steel hardware. Other mounting options are available for securing the separate components to surfaces such as walls, trees, etc.
